I picked this unit up the other day because I have never seen one with this cool pull up screen. Not sure if these were offered here in the USA or if this maybe was on an import. I have had close to 20 FJ40's from the Wisconsin and surrounding areas over the years and we definitely have the cold weather but not one of my 40's ever had one of these. I posted the same pics to an old 2010 post that mentioned them but I think it is buried deep again. Does anyone have info on these screens? Were they an OEM option, different county, years available? Thanks in advance for any input!

Probably from a Canadian BJ40/BJ42. I show a listing for both models in the Canadian market.

Originally from Wisconsin and sure you will have a use for it. Not so much here in AZ. Even Northern Arizona is nothing like living on Lake Michigan.

LOL, the struggle is real.........honestly though I have to admit the winters we have had the last decade or so have been nothing compared to the winters I experienced in the early to mid 70's. Things are changing, must be all the plastic straws

This was in the 40/60 series manual. It shows a 60 series in the picture but maybe they put it on the 40 as well. I cant believe I was reading this yesterday and you posted about it today. I had never seen or heard of one before and was thinking it would be cool to find one somewhere!
Belongs to European spec BJ40/42 too. I have one as standard in my BJ42.
Just saw one on a JDM HiAce. This thread helped me figure out what it was. No idea how an owner would know it was there or why this one was in the down position. Sadly, I think it was the cause of overheating and destroying an engine.
